The bloc(EN/FR)WThe Bloc takes the shape of an improvised conference in several voices. It unfolds in real-time based on a small number of formal rules: the discourse is constructed along the way according to a logic of transitions that gradually distance it from its starting point. Using these simple means, The Bloc develops the possibility of a collective utterance, which is also a powerful impetus for language and fiction. For Special Issue #0, The Bloc is moderated by Jeanne Revel and Frédéric Danos. Image: Nicolas Couturier
